"아이가 나아요."

Translation: The child gets well.

[duolingotfek]

To recover from illness: 낫다

High Formal: 낫습니다

Polite: 나아요

[Linguistgeek]

Shouldn't it be 낫아요?

[Hajen14]

As I understand it, if the stem ends with ㅅ you exlude it when conjugating to "-아요" or "-어요"

[GeraldMath4]

No, the ㅅ has to go before a vowel.

[BaptisteBo375149]

I wrote down "kid" instead of child, shouldn't it work?

[MackenzieW150925]

This is the polite lesson, that's probably counted as impolite

[ensiradj]

It is accepted now

[pattmahiney]

It usually works

[pastel-shinki]

Does anyone know the dictionary form of "나아요?" Thanks!

[Klearner1]

낫다 :)!

[GiovanniSantucci]

Unfortunately, the DL dictionary they give doesn't use the infinitive.

[KanKanMikan]

I just like how duolingo tip said "In English, you recover from a disease. In Soviet Korea, a disease recovers from you"

[Druckles]

Should child have the topic particle rather than the subject particle? (according to what was written in the Tips and Notes)

[gmolinga]

Why is written 나아요. Wouldn't be better to contract it to 나요 as for example 가다 -> 가요?

[gmolinga]

Oh okay, it's because 나아요 comes from 낫다. e.e'

[Laz.z.y]

How would be if it were "the child flies"?

[TeoJr]

아이가 날아요. I think...

[Cici455680]

I hope so!

[Woodsman72]

맞아요 - 나아요 gets well, 날아요 flies

[AspenJules]

In this one it explains 나아요 as "gets well" but in the one right before this I got it wrong when I said the child "got well" from the disease, using the exact same verb. How can it be wrong one minute and right the very next? Very confusing, or just plain inaccurate.

[Jess76231]

it probably had an issue with your use of a different tense. "got well" is past tense and at this point we are learning in the present tense.

[burentu1]

Korean native speaker could not understand this. Says it doesn't make sense and this is not used in the present tense as such.

[GeraldMath4]

Shucks. I thought he just improved.
